Wow Clint...how fucking bummed am I ? I grew up idolizuing your gunslinger ways. You're individuality and seeming honesty. Of course your no bullshit gruff was the best and that voice! Well this has all changed in 30 seconds. I have NO RESPECT for you or anything you have ever done. It's halftime, let the world hear the raor of our engines!? The fucking world has been hearing the relentless noise of the U*.S.A.'s engines for 200 years Clint, WAKE THE FUCK UP!! We need SILENT motors Clint, one's that feed kids all over the world. Engines that fix our broken planet and broken society. The U.S. did not lose anything Clint, they gave it away with their hate, corruption, warmoingering and unstoppable GREED.. do you feel lucky Clint? FUCK YOU CLINT, YOUR A WORTHLESS SHILL...Die alrerady....

Sorry Clint...you screwed up. Boy did you ever pick the wrong horse to back! I don't mean the US...I mean by not bashing this administrations head in for them, you condoned they. Dirty Harry let the criminals off and walk scott free without firing a single shot. What's the matter old man...no one "makes your day" anymore?

Sage, I believe he is A-OK. He does a lot of really fantastic volunteer work outside of The Daily Bail and it is time consuming and tiring.

Steve is one heck of a cat (pun intended) and for the time being, I will do my best to keep a few stories up in the comments section until he gets back. Maybe a few of the readers would like to help out. If you find a good article, legal doc or whatever just post it. A cut and paste headline, link and small excerpt. Everyone should keep a close eye on the right hand side of the main page "Most Recent Comments" for these stories. I will personally edit spam. Sometimes local news can be a precursor of bigger events and can demonstrate that "the grass is not greener over the septic tank"...

Steve has taken a few years of his life doing this free and this is some very serious research. Now is time for us collectively to show him and his family our support. It's a hell of a lot of work for 1 person, combined with his volunteer work (and family) he is amazing. What Steve has done here is a measure of a man, and a principled one.

I know how you feel, but when this site is ON, it's 2nd to none. In the mean time, just go to the right where it says "MOST RECENT COMMENTS' and click. It's a terrific way to stalk people.

Websites are weird things because they're simultaneously so popular and so new that there's no vocabulary for common occurrences. Take a commenter who's great for 3 years and then vanishes. Currently Smoking Cannabis on Calculate Risk is an example, as is, after CSC, Gordon Gekko on zero hedge.

Those people are remarkable enough to have earned a moniker, and yet there's none. There are many more examples if you sit still and think for a minute.

"Using gambling as a metaphor, ‘Bailout’ aims to illuminate the crimes of a system wherein people behave egregiously irresponsible and are paid to keep doing it. And if the award-winning reception at the 4th annual Derby City Film Festival can be taken as a step in the right direction, then hopefully the tide is shifting in democracy’s favor."

Thanks, fellas. We also yesterday connected with a NYC publicist who really digs the film and got Ratigan to sign his book on top of it all. It was really cool to see people from all different walks of life to come out to hear what Dylan's preaching. That guy connects with a lot of different demographics, but for one (if the crowd was any indicator)--young people, the most damaged victims in our Legal Crisis.

That's the term I'll use from now on. Calling what's happened since 2008 a financial crisis puts things on par with the S&L crisis, which (1) only cost $75 billion, (2) saw financial executives go to jail, and thus (3) is negligible next to the current crisis, which has carpet-bombed jurisprudence all the way back to the early 1200's or before.

The Legal Crisis is worse than the S&L crisis and, if not stopped, will dwarf the Great Depression in its grimness.

P.S. Pitch, I stole your WP 666 chops in the film; the graphics are killer.

Congrats Cheyenne, sounds like Bailout is going to be a must see for anyone who wants to know what's really going on in this country today. The MSM corporate propaganda bureaus and their bobble-head editors and reporters have buried truth in the same hole the U.S. Justice Department buried rule of law.

("Calling what's happened since 2008 a financial crisis puts things on par with the S&L crisis, which (1) only cost $75 billion, (2) saw financial executives go to jail, and thus (3) is negligible next to the current crisis, which has carpet-bombed jurisprudence all the way back to the early 1200's or before.")

Might be time for a national Vigilance Committee. A pissed off million citizen posse headed up Wall Street with a few Tar Kettles and some semi trailers full of chicken feathers would be a great start. After that on to D.C.

Some jerk of a banker who ate a $135 meal at a California restaurant left his server this $1.33 tip, along with the sneering suggestion to \\\"get a real job.\\\" The transaction was recorded by his dining companion and evidently conflicted underling, who on his \\\"confessional\\\" blog Future Ex-Banker describes himself as \\\"an admittedly willing—albeit reluctant—cog in the wheel of this increasingly ugly industry,\\\" and says his boss \\\"so loathes the 99%\\\" that he makes a habit of this sort of thing. The blog is now gone; apparently so is he from his job. Meanwhile, restaurant workers are fighting back nationwide and most notably in Florida, where there's a move, incredibly, to lower the minimum wage from $4.65 to $2.13.

I saw that and forwarded it to my g/f, who bar tends in midtown Manhattan. The vast majority of her customers are either law partners or hedge fund managers. She says that as assholish as the lawyers are, the hedge funders are flat out disgusting animals--who tip for shit while boasting of their wealth.

Separately, even the prissiest amount of pink squirrels turns all their pieholes into spewing fountains of confidential information. I've learned of many mergers days before they're public.

**************** Im OK, But it Was Close, 1mi. close from the Cabin***********************

I had 2 to many drinks, OK 3 watching the ugly storm close in on Tanney Co. It was 40mi. from hitting us and my Glass was empty Again................Shut the puter down, went up to the Loft, and "Missed the Whole Thing"......

We are 1mi. south of the strip and dident have a thing down in the resort, Nothing. And we were on the "Dirty Side Too".....We had to be just out side of the wind vortex and in the vacum of rushing air above us. It was close.....................

As ya's saw on the news Branson Strip was not so lucky. Anything not damaged is back open.....70% and crews are workking round the clock clearing the stuff out of the way.

Over 20 people hurt, but NO Deaths, so were OK. Many were not so lucky Tue. and Today Fri. But we did lose 10-12 Branson Landmark Places. The season opens in just 2 weeks, and we will be ready for them.

Many more will come just to see all the dammage, so it will all work out in the end. Our Planes sit in the hanger. My "CFI" has a Construction Buisness, and im driving dump truck haulling of all the crap left behind. Getting tired of "Pink Stuff"..................!

I've been gone for 3 weeks waiting for DB's next post. Had to dig to find a saved link. Good to see the world is still comming to the "DB" for the true info on whats goin on...........

Cheyenne ......................Yr "Rockin Hot". and Texas Dar can say I knew you when......! Shuck's, we sat on the dock and ate fryed catfish n crawdads, drank Beer and told old Democrat jokes togeather..............We Did Right....?

Were OK, but the airplane sits in the hanger for many weeks. Work an $$$$$$$ is more important right now. Oh, our dock was miss'ed, but not by much. Were on the North end. Pier 15-18, 100' house boats are mostly junk and sunk. The other side of the marina is in worse shape. Took one dock and fliped it up on top of the brand NEW house boat reantals dock.....

Glad to see you are O.K. Dar, storms hit here today, one news channel saying 31 tornadoes. It stayed mostly south of the river, a couple on the Ohio and Indiana side. The town of Henryville Indiana is wiped out. 3 deaths so far. We are under high winds till 4:00am but the storms are gone.

I hope we dont repete last year May 22, and Joplin Mo. God is not a happy camper with us, but the State of Mo. had taken our share of the blame for kickking "God" out of everythig but "Cuss Words".......................!

I think Steve's website made enemies of some powerful, corrupt people. They come down hard on those who strip them of their camouflage and expose their blood sucking, criminal methods. I hope he's OK, but I have to think something major happened to make him abandon his very popular website without letting his readers know what's going on.

If there's anything that'll make Steve re-appear, it's the Treasury's most absurd propaganda effort EVER to rationalize TARP. You gotta ask yourself: if the program were that great, why in the fuck would the government STILL--3.5 years after the fact--be trying to sell us on it? In any event, here's Herr Geithner's latest...

Hey, does any one know why there's been no activity on this site, it's awesome, how can it just go dormant like this and no news any where about what's happening to the author and anyone else who contributes to this site?

David, some of us took a well deserved and much needed break. Stories and breaking related news are occasionally updated from time to time here in the comments section. I am sure things may be back on track shortly and thanks for dropping by. Keep checking in from time to time.
